It's great for what you guys(dev.) do for the community. I am always in favorable of Custom Rom. But, I bricked my first Prime during the OTA .13 updated. If I install the unlocker bootloader(half open) from Asus. I have to update to ICS first. which I don't want to at the moment until the full bootloader come out. It also void the warranty. And there has been few cases got bricked by using it. Just don't want take that chance again....... Beside, HC OS is working better(WIFI & GPS) than my bricked ICS OS. Maybe, that's why Asus send me a replacement with HC OS??? No point of switching right now. As ICS is still quite new so as the hardware Targa 3. There always be bugs and more updates to do.
I just hope someone can come up with the full crack version of unlock bootloader soon for CWM Recovery, so I can do the full rom backup and explore other Custom Rom and recover from CWM Recovery in case anything go wrong.
Well, thanks anyway.

ICS has been very stable on my Prime and runs much better than HC ever did. In addition, Virtuous ROM flies and has been a great improvement over stock ICS. That makes the voided warranty worth it to me, but I do understand why some are leery.

Rom manager recognizes my transformer prime but when I try to flash 5.0.0.6 it still shows 5.5.0.4. Also, when I choose to backup or boot into recovery, it just reboots. Any ideas? At least your recovery works and for that I thank you immensely.

I believe you are confusing the Rom Manager version and the Recovery version. The RM version is 5.0.0.6 and the Recovery version is 5.5.0.4

Can any please help me. I am on the newest update for the Asus TF Prime, and I am rooted and unlocked via Viperboy's amazing tool. However, regardless of how I push the ClockWorkMod to my TFP, Viperboy's tool, ADB via Windows 7, Terminal Emulator on the TFP itself (Local SDCard as well as external SDCard) it says successful, reboots and I get:

"Blob Signature Failed" and then it reboots again, and loads normally. If I attempt to go to Recovery, it just shows the Android bot, then goes to the screen where he is laying down and the red !.

I do not know what else to do, as I have felt like I have read and followed all the guides and tips you Gents have posted. Also, for sure it is the .blob file and not the .sos file.

I have also tried installing via Rom Manager, same results.

I would appreciate any assistance on this.

I do not get the feeling that you actually unlocked your Prime, which is not good.

As far as I know, Viperboy's tool does not unlock the bootloader. You do that with a tool from Asus (an .apk). One other person seems to have messed up his Prime by trying to go to CWM before unlocking. Hopefully, someone will figure out a cure for this.

Actually, viperMOD 4.5 does install the unlock tool for you, then tells you to go to the app in your app drawer and go through the steps to unlock, then when you boot up again after unlocking, you press enter in the viperMOD command line and it install CWM for you.

You were right. I went and ran that (I thought I ran the tool before...) and it unlocked it... more? Well, after the unlock ran and rebooted, I installed CWM via Rom Manager. Thank you so much for your assistance, Thanks goes to you.
